77306, Translucent Slimes

[Metalchaos]

Like if it was not enough, a hideous green slime and a bright ochre jelly ooze down the walls of the cave where you have established camp for the night. Their many pulsating excrescences increases their disgusting infectious aspect. They both clearly avoid the light radiating from your improvised campfire, but still the yellow one slowly crawls towards you. The greenish atrocity is only lifting itself in a misshapen column that whips the air without precise direction. You understand the threat while moving closer to you, the amoeba jelly dissolve an empty leather quiver that you left on the ground.

Here are the 77306, Translucent Slimes Dark Heaven Bones sculpted by Kevin Williams. I painted them using only yellow and green ink.

Very Cool!

Did you prime the minis with anything before using the ink?

They look great btw

Both are great, but the yellow one is particularly disgusting!

@TheMandolin, no I didn't use primer. No primer and no paint, only two layers of ink. To help the ink to stick to the surface, I cleaned the models with soapy water. I applied a first layer of ink after the models were completely dry, and one last layer of ink on the areas that were not colorful enough. Maybe I will seal them with a gloss varnish latter.

Nice colors, especially on the yellow!

These look great.  I have some of the metal ones and they don’t sell the effect nearly as well.

Thank you for your comments. I've also painted a pewter version of the ocher jelly some time ago. It really looks different indeed, I had a lot of fun painting the metal version since it was a good surface to practice gradient. Here are pictures of both version side by side.

I really like both of them. With the metal one, it would be fun to have to make it look slimy while with the translucent one, it just looks slimy from the start!

Both of those look good.  

 

I have one left that I have not yet painted.  I am thinking of using the gem color technical paints from GW. Then hitting them with a series of washes.

Thanks @Hibou, I'm glad you like both.

 

Sounds like a lot of fun. I'd like to see it posted on the forum when you're done.

Good work making them icky looking.

I like these - interesting to see the side by side. I think I will try inks on some of the translucent minis I have after seeing this!
